Location Tracking System using Arduino UNO and Ublox NEO-6M GPS Module - Python Language

Here is an example of a code for GPS tracking using an Arduino UNO and a GPS module:

This code uses the SoftwareSerial library to read data from the GPS module. The GPS module is connected to the Arduino UNO using digital pins 2 and 3 as RX and TX respectively and the baud rate is set to 9600. The code continuously reads the GPS data from the module and prints it to the serial monitor. The data includes information such as latitude, longitude, time, and date.

For this project, you will need the following electronic items:

1. An Arduino UNO
2. GPS module (e.g. Ublox NEO-6M)
3. Jumper wires
4. Power Supply
5. Breadboard (an optional)

The GPS module is a device that can determine the location of a device using satellite signals. It has several pins such as VCC, GND, TX, and RX. The VCC pin needs to be connected to the 3.3V or 5V pin on the Arduino UNO, the GND pin needs to be connected to the GND pin on the Arduino UNO, and the TX and RX pins need to be connected to digital pins 2 and 3 on the Arduino UNO respectively.

Here is a sample circuit diagram explanation for the setup:

In the circuit diagram, the GPS module is connected to the Arduino UNO using jumper wires, the VCC pin is connected to the 3.3V or 5V pin, the GND pin is connected to the GND pin, and the TX and RX pins are connected to the digital pins 2 and 3 on the Arduino UNO respectively.

Please note that this is just a sample code and circuit diagram, you may need to adjust the code and circuit to suit your specific requirements and hardware.

It is important to check the compatibility and specifications of the GPS module with your microcontroller and also check the baud rate of the module and set it accordingly in the code before uploading it to the microcontroller.

Once you have the circuit set up and the code uploaded, you can monitor the GPS data by opening the serial monitor on the Arduino IDE or by running the Python code on the Raspberry Pi. The values of latitude, longitude, time, and date will be displayed on the serial monitor in real-time as the GPS module is receiving the data.

It is also possible to add more functionality and integration with other devices or services, based on the GPS data received.

Please note that, while GPS data is accurate, it is not always available and can be affected by various factors such as weather, buildings, and interference from other electronic devices.
